World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

[Jimjamesak]

Well, Argentina is likely to win now that Di Maria has scored.

He scored in the 2008 Olympic final and he scored in the 2021 Copa America final.

 

[Kepler]

Wow, two first half subs for France.

Including losing their #2 scorer. Illness?

Was that a card for feigning an injury or was he waiting that whole time for him to get up to show it?

So that Messi guy is pretty decent

He had it out the whole time. I think he was tempted to show him two.

He was waiting. He had taken the card out right away.

It took so long I couldn’t remember if he had already shown one to the other defender that was involved in the play.

Waiting for him to get up. You don’t show cards to players on the ground.

That's how I took it -- it was for the contact, not the flop. If there was embellishment in soccer there would be 30 yellows a game.

I assumed the flop was to try to evade the yellow. Has anyone been given another yellow for excessive mewling after being cited? (I know you would not do that in a WC final.)

Wonder if Deschamps is having secongd thoughts for not reinstating Benzema?

Figured so. But since he popped up so quick after the call for the trainers I thought it could be a delay of game card since he apparently wasn’t that hurt.

It's like serving papers. You need to make sure they see it.

Whoa

Is that aggregated for the whole match or just cherry picked from one possession?

 

[dxmnkd316]

Oh my fuck

 

[bronconick]

Oh my

 

[walrus]

Momentum has shifted

 

[Spartanforlife4]

Well if that hasn’t been the story of the tournament. Argentina dominates for 80 minutes and then let’s a team get back in it.

 

[RaceBoarder]

France just leaned forward in their gaming chair, lol...

 

[Kepler]

Do not let them back in!
